I'm canadian, and a product of 70s/80s canadian culture, when were still -- culturally -- in a sort of weird colonial crouch with respect to the british empire ...
... so satirists up there would mock the instinctive assumption by white canadians that british accents sounded fancy and important ...
... by using "veddy" in print as a substitute for "very", i.e. emulating the poncy upper class british accent
